The sounds and smells of the 19th century. London, 19th century, no doubt.
Aaaaaah the smells of 1800's life. Sewage in the streets, coal smoke and fog mixing for a lethal brew that blankets the city, perspiration undiluted but trivialities like soap or indoor plumbing or air conditioning.
And the sounds! Horses screaming when they're hit by trains/cable cars, people yelling to communicate, the huffing chuffing factories and mills and horse-drawn wagons and beggars, lots of beggars, bewailing their current stat d'affair.
I can't wait! Bring on the Tuberculosis Express. And the Spinster Spinner where you are twirled in Industrial Revolutions until you and your mate are dead. Wheeeeeeee.
